[QUOTE="ian, post: 303375, member: 116"] I put on a Shinko 09 rear for my trip from Iowa to the west coast. After 5600 miles, I only had 1-2/32 in the center. As it was Thursday and I didn't want to get stranded until Tuesday, I had a Pirelli Diablo Strada put on at the Yamaha dealer in Sonoroa, CA. The tire price was fair-$160 but it cost $80 to mount it. I was able to watch from a short distance which was scarry! The mechanic (?) put it back together and torqued (?) the axel nut with air. Something wasn't right so he called his boss over who pounded out the axed with a 3/8 extension, redid it and seemed satisfied. I asked him what was up and he said "the speedometer gear was hard to line up". I said "you mean the ABS" and he said "uh, yeah". Seems to run OK and the brake works. God I hate on the road service. So much for the 10,000 mile Shinkos! Ian, Iowa [/QUOTE]
